The Wadi Degla Gazette
Squad7 Sep 2026
The knee: Mahmoud Talaat out for 144 days
144 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Wadi Degla lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Market7 Sep 2026
Wadi Degla turn down Beerschot for Franck Boli
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Boardroom7 Sep 2026
Wadi Degla close the window on a squad of their own making
14 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Words exchanged at Wadi Degla
Ibrahim El Bahnasi and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Transfer targets7 Sep 2026
A loan move for Dyogo Alves is in the works
Wadi Degla have made the call to Flamengo. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
The dugout7 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Hesham Mohamed
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Words at Wadi Degla training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kano is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Wadi Degla have started building around Ahmed Dahesh
He used to be one of the options. He is now one of the men the options are picked around, and the change happened quietly enough that only the dressing room noticed on the day.
Looking ahead7 Sep 2026
A reunion for Amr Hossam
He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Petrojet in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
In brief
- Market The window shut and Youssef Oya is still in the building
